Quantum Mechanics, a classical "forgotten" interpretation

This is summary from a Wired article.

In the inception of the quantum mechanic theory, one of their contributors, De Broglie, proposed an alternate explanation inside the classical point of view (Called Pilot wave theory), opposed to the WTF-Explanation that Bohr and Heisenberg did (Called Copenhagen interpretation), which nowadays is the dominant approach, just because IT WORKS!, even though NOBODY KNOWS WHY

De Broglie's approach consisted in an invisible pilot-wave that drives the particle, while Bohr's (The one fully accepted) consist in a probabilistic density cloud, that determines the possible locations where the particle MIGHT be ... Hell, It's a lot more than that, if you want to learn that stuff head to wikipedia and find it out for yourself

Anyway, the thing is the pilot-wave theory has been forgotten until some french guys around ten years ago started playing with silicon droplets on a silicon pool vibrating at a frequency near resonance, it works similar to the pilot wave theory, and discovered that the effects resembles a lot to the quantum mechanics results, they even did an analogous experiment to the double-slit experiment, and the silicon droplet behaves just like a photon would.

I've already seen that silicon-droplet-wave-stuff on discovery, but I didn't know there was an old theory that might back it up.
